Integrated fare refers to a unified ticketing system that combines multiple public transport and mobility services, enabling users to pay a single fare for different modes of transport. By simplifying the payment process and offering a seamless experience, integrated fare systems make it easier for passengers to switch between public transport, and shared mobility options like bikes or scooters. This approach enhances the convenience, efficiency, and appeal of public and shared transportation, encouraging more people to choose sustainable mobility options. 

Application

Integrated fare systems are used to make public transport more accessible and efficient by providing a single payment method for different transport options, promoting multimodality. For example, a user can travel by bus, train, and bike-sharing without needing separate tickets, promoting multimodal mobility and enhancing the overall user experience.
